Seeing the cave opened in the rocks, Lin Xixue quickly remembered that entering from the entrance of the cave was the location of the Blood Pond Lotus Terrace.
What did you want to do to her by bringing the green-robed Taoist here?
To explore such a dangerous place, Lin Xixue had to be very energetic, took two more Spirit-Reinforcing Pills, and fully opened her consciousness.
After making sure that there was no more ambush around, she cautiously entered it.
After turning several steep and narrow stone steps, the view suddenly opened up. Inside the mountain, which was so spacious that it even felt empty, the roots of the lotus platform stretched out like tentacles into the rock mass below.
But unlike last time, this time the blood pool had dried up, leaving only reddish-brown smelly stains clinging to the surrounding stones.
The green-robed Taoist who had gone crazy before had his limbs nailed to the lotus platform and was screaming something hoarse.
In sharp contrast, several high-level practitioners were whispering something noisily around the lotus platform. Lin Xixue gathered her consciousness and could clearly hear what they were talking about.
"How many cases is this this month?"
"Brother from the prison, including nephew Hao, this is the fifth case this month."
"Have all the fish in the water been taken out and burned?" The prisoner's brows were already knitted together.
"All the fish were fished out on the day you gave the order, and no more fish was bought in the kitchen. I really don't know where the fish meat came from today."
Catching fish? Fish? What is all this mess? Lin Xixue was greatly puzzled.
"Supervisor, is there any response from Lixin Academy?"
"There has been no response, and there has been no response since last month."
"Brother from the prison, why don't we seal the mountain? If visiting pilgrims are allowed to see these strange fish, the consequences will be disastrous."
"No, we must not close the mountain at this time." Gao Gong of the Supervisory Academy hesitated to speak, and finally swallowed the second half of the sentence, flicked his sleeves, "I have made a decision on this matter, there is no need to mention it again!"
"By the way, Junior Brother Peng, have the boys who helped you control Junior Hao's nephew been dealt with properly?"
"Back to the prison, senior brother, I have handed this matter over to senior brother Fei. Presumably several Taoist boys have already taken the Wangchen Pill he refined by this time and have forgotten about this matter."
When Lin Xixue heard this, she took out the elixir from the void and played with it with her fingers.
Fortunately, I had predicted that there was something wrong with the elixir, otherwise a lot of information would have been collected in vain.
It's just that these cow noses talk about catching fish for a while, and then say that fish meat appears. What do they mean?
Lin Xixue could only continue to listen patiently to everyone's conversation.
"Okay, I'd like to ask you all, junior fellow apprentices, to patrol more diligently these days. Especially the lotus pond in front of the palace is often visited by pilgrims, so we should focus on patrolling."
"Brother from the prison, there are more and more crazy people in the temple, and there are fewer and fewer people available. However, this strange fish appears more and more frequently. I am afraid that one is going down and the other is going up."
"No need to say any more, this matter has been settled. Let's solve the problem of Senior Nephew Hao first."
After saying that, he did not wait for the other high-level masters to respond. He swung his sleeves behind him, kneaded the formula with his hands on his chest, stepped on Yu steps, and recited the spiritual inscriptions.
"In response to the sound of the colorless realm, the sky reflects the crown of the ten directions, the wheel of reincarnation has no shadow, and the Taoist temple is interesting in the dark period."
The other masters opened their mouths, obviously wanting to say something more, but when they saw that the supervisor had already recited the spirit formula, they had no choice but to shake their heads.
The sleeves and robes of all the Taoists fluttered, and they danced with the sound of hunting and breaking through the sky, and chanted sutras together with the prison courtyard.
Along with the chanting of sutras, a large number of electric arcs appeared on the surface of Taoist Hao who was nailed to the lotus platform, and his hair and beard were completely fried due to the electrification.
He saw the jailer take out a hammer, and the rolling thunder turned into a long nail in his hand.
He hammered it down, and the long nails were driven into Taoist Hao's heavenly spirit. Fierce lightning exploded from Taoist Hao's eyes, ears, mouth, and nose.
There was a rumble of thunder in the chest cavity under the ribs and in the abdominal cavity.
The red blood flowed out of Taoist Hao's seven orifices and formed a pool of blood on the back of his head.
But there seemed to be a formless thing flying out of his body, causing arcs and sparks to flash in the air wherever it passed.
"Master Nephew Hao, you have completed your merits in cultivating immortality in the human world. Today, I will make you a soldier of the Thunder Department and rank you in the Thunder Altar!"
The prisoner took out an ancient silk roster from his arms, ticked a few words on it with gold paint, and the incorporeal thing was sucked into the roster.
Inside the mountain, tranquility returns.
Only the lotus platform rooted in the mountain made a gurgling, greedy swallowing sound.
Although it was a very common sound of drinking water, Lin Xixue always felt a little chilly when hearing it.
She looked at the scene in front of her and silently compared it with what happened in her memory.
The prison just now seemed to have used some special means to transform the Taoist surnamed Hao into an invisible thing called "Thunder Altar Soldiers and Horses". Later, he used this list to collect the Leitan soldiers and horses.
When she was imprisoned on this lotus platform before, these Taoists also said that they would train themselves into Tao soldiers.
I wonder if these Leitan soldiers and horses are a type of Taoist soldiers?
The prison guard put away the roster and asked another Taoist next to him: "What is the current situation in Linghu Village?"
"The village has been surrounded with realgar powder before, and these strange insects won't be able to come out for a while."
"Have you found the source of this strange insect?"
"According to the results of previous explorations, this strange insect seems to have emerged from the lake."
In the middle of his words, the prison guard suddenly interrupted him and said: "Let's go, talk as we go, there are many pilgrims at this time, we should return to our seats as soon as possible to avoid another accident."
With that said, the prison guard dusted his sleeves, turned around and led everyone out of the secret room at the heart of the mountain.
Lin Xixue saw that this secret passage was not good. There was only one entrance and exit here. If she didn't leave, she would be exposed.
Instead of using her feet, she touched the ground with both hands, slightly flexing her fingers, and pushed herself out like a spring. The whole process was gentle and silent.
But it was this subtle friction sound caused by the contact between fingers and the ground that somehow attracted the attention of the prison.
"Who is it!" The prisoner shouted loudly, took out the roster from his arms, unfolded it, bit his fingertips and circled a few names on the roster, and then several invisible objects flew through the air and attacked her.
Since she was exposed, there was no need to cover up. She used her hands and feet to move more than ten feet in an instant and disappeared into the cave in the blink of an eye.
After leaving the cave, she ran so fast that the shoes under her feet were torn by the force of her steps, but several invisible things were chasing after her.
She looked at the arc approaching in the space, and she always felt that this invisible thing was quite familiar.
A flash of inspiration suddenly occurred to her, and she suddenly remembered where she had seen it - on Lantau Mountain, after Master Huasheng put on a neon-colored cloak, he also drew the breeze and made a similar invisible creature.
It's just that the invisible creatures made by Master Huasheng will glow with golden light when passing through the space, and these creatures will spark electric arcs.
Seeing that the lightning arc was about to catch up with her, she braked suddenly and twisted her waist, transmitting the huge recoil force generated by the brake to her arms.
She took advantage of the situation and drew out the horizontal sword, slashing it horizontally, and the invisible creature dispersed in response.
But it was as if a water balloon burst and the water splashed in all directions.
After this invisible creature was killed by her, it instantly exploded into a sea of thunder. Lin Xixue had no time to react before she was submerged in it.
Belated Chapter 2! I wanted to take a nap for half an hour and continue writing, but I don’t know whether it was because the alarm didn’t go off or I didn’t hear it. Anyway, I woke up at six o’clock in the morning, and unexpectedly achieved the achievement of sleeping before twelve o’clock (~ ̄▽ ̄)~
Chapter 3 will be delivered as soon as possible, I am guilty
